Abstract:This paper systematically reviewed carbon emission accounting methods and key issues from the perspectives of life cycle assessment (LCA), input-output analysis, and accounting boundaries. Secondly, it analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of carbon emissions in China’s paper industry and employed decomposition models to reveal the mechanisms of core driving factors such as economic growth, energy intensity, and energy structure. Finally, the paper pointed out deficiencies in existing research regarding data foundations, dynamic simulation, techno-economic comprehensive assessment, and policy synergy analysis. It also prospected future research directions, including building a unified accounting platform, deepening research on system integration and optimization, strengthening multi-scenario simulation and policy synergy effect evaluation, and expanding research on carbon responsibilities within global value chains, aiming to provide theoretical references for promoting deep decarbonization and high-quality development in China’s pulp and paper industry.
